Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve answered the 5 most common questions we get from future customers just like you …

A framework (ours is called Genesis) is a powerful type of WordPress theme — the frame and body of the car — that acts as a design, security, and SEO foundation for your website. It also “future-proofs” your site customizations, so there’s no hassle when it comes time to upgrade your software with one click.

A child theme is the pure design element that rests on top of the framework — the cherry red paint job on that car. Or blue. Or black. Pink. Green. You get the idea…

Like any website, you’ll need to own your own domain and have WordPress installed on a web host of your choice. If you’d like a host that completely manages your WordPress and Genesis installation for you, we can help with that.

Also, you’ll need to have a basic understanding of how to work in the WordPress dashboard.

With a variety of themes to choose from, we’re sure to have one that’s just right for your website. All of our themes have built-in color and layout options available, so you’ll want to keep that in mind as you’re scanning through the preview images. When looking for a theme that will require the fewest customizations, we suggest visiting the demos for each theme that interests you and choosing the one that most closely resembles your ideal site.
